Unschooled in the "neo-cabaret" musical genre? Don't fret - just check out Portland's Vagabond Opera Friday in Olympia. Truly offering music of the world, the six-piece Vagabond Opera reportedly dabbles in sounds spanning the globe - from European cabaret, to Balkan belly dance, to Old World Yiddish theater and beyond. There's a reason this mesmerizing troupe has shared stages with the Decemberists, Pink Martini and Al Franken and the Oregon Symphony. Hint: It's because they're awesome.
[Kenneth J. Minnaert Center for the Arts, 8 p.m., all ages, $14.75-$29.50, 2011 Mottman Road S.W., Olympia, washingtoncenter.org]
